Dad comes home tomorrow from Maine. He's leaving at 3AM Sunday morning so he can go to Barktoberfest with me and Mitch and mom! We are so psyched! This is a once-a-year event for us and it's always such fun! It takes us a good 2 hours to drive there and once we get there, we meet up with approx 75 other Airedales! Mitch has never ever been! Wait till he gets a load of all of the other Dales! OMG, we can hardly wait!

We're hoping to see our friend Carol Usher, who does the outstanding WoolieDales and we're hoping to meet Jake, who we've never met before. His parents and my parents got to know each other on the ferry when we went to Nantucket at the end of August, remember?!

The event starts at 11AM and goes until 2PM. Barbara Curtiss, who is the head of New England Airedale Rescue is the organizer and this wicked fun time just happens to be at her house!

It starts off with a walkie at Kent State Mountain, which just happens to be in her back yard! There is a raffle with all sorts of Airedale paraphernalia that we can win. Mom knit a purse and needle felted on it to donate for the raffle.

There's a Halloween parade if you want to wear costumes. They vote on who is the cutest and which one is the funniest, etc and they usually have a contest with hotdog bits to see who can grab the most in the least amount of time! It's a lot of fun!

We've been asked to bring a dessert to share. Mom has decided on Oatmeal Peanut Butter Bars. We've never made them before so all of these people will be guinea pigs! We love to see how fast the plate empties! This way we know if the recipe is good or not but don't worry - it will be pre-tested before it leaves our kitchen!

This is how the batter looks before it goes into the pan to be baked. ummmmmmmmmmm

It has peanut butter and brown sugar and oats and flaked coconut and sunflower seeds and raisins in there! We got to taste it before it hit the baking pan!Don't worry - mom made sure there were no raisins on the spoon that we got to taste test!

And here it is just out of the oven! TADA! We're hoping that we get to have a tiny taste of the baked masterpiece! We'll let you know how fast it goes tomorrow at Barktoberfest!

Maggie & Mitch, have a great time at Barktoberfest. It sounds like fun, wish we had something like that near us. We can't wait to see all the pics. Tell your mum good luck with the oatmeal peanut butter bars. They look delish. Might test it out on some B&B guests.

Barktoberfest sounds like so much fun. I'm so jealous, you guys are going to have a blast! Can't wait to see all the pictures. 75 Airedales, now that will be CRAZY! I'll have to convince mom and dad to head out east next October and I can join you at Barktoberfest. Oh, BTW those Oatmeal Peanut Butter bars look YUMMY! I hope you got more than just a taste.

Yum and yum yum and yum yum and yum!!! The Servant is blathering on about how fun some Octoy thing would be but who can think about toys when faced with that pan of deliciousness??? Not us!We will instruct the Servant to make us some immediately (sans raisons) and thank you for the recipe.

I suwe wish I was an aiwedale!! if I paint myself and put on stilts,do you think they'll let me in??Have a gweat time!i bet the plate will be empty in no time at all..I'm dwooling all ovew!

Oh that sounds so cooooool! You get to go on a little trip and meet a bunch of dogs and have some snacks--sounds like the best day ever! I wish there was something like that here in the Austin area. I'll have to get the humans on it so they can find something. Oh and Mom wanted me to tell you she LUURVES that purse that you made for the raffle. It's really cute! But I don't know how cool I'd look carrying something like that around. I think I'll leave the purses to my mom. hehe

About Me

I am Molly the AireGirl. My brother, Mitch, and my sister, Maggie, are now angels at Rainbow Bridge so I am going to carry on the blog that Angel Maggie started. Maggie was a Companion L'Aire AireGirl just like I am. Dad bought Mitch at a puppy store but he was born in Missouri. Mackie is a special AireBoy from Missouri too.
Thank you, Maggie, for teaching mom and dad to love the Airedale breed. If it weren't for you, none of us would be here♥
